VoteCast showed that 7 in 10 national voters said overturning the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision was an important factor in their midterm decisions. It also showed the reversal was broadly unpopular. And roughly 6 in 10 said they favor a law guaranteeing access to legal abortion nationwide.<\/p>\n<p>In the first national election since the Jan. 6 insurrection, some who participated in or were in the vicinity of the attack on the U.S. Capitol were poised to win elected office. One of those Republican candidates, Derrick Van Orden in Wisconsin \u2014 who was outside the Capitol during the deadly riot \u2014 won a House seat. Another, J.R. Majewski, lost to Ohio Democratic Rep. Marcy Kaptur.<\/p>\n<p>Republicans had sought to make inroads in liberal New England but were shut out of House contests, with one Maine race still set to be determined by ranked choice voting.<\/p>\n<p>Governors&#8217; races took on outsized significance this year, particularly in battleground states that could help decide the results of the 2024 presidential election. Democrats held on to governors&#8217; mansions in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania, defeating Republicans who promoted Trump&#8217;s lies about a stolen 2020 election. Republicans held on to governors\u2019 mansions in Florida, Texas and Georgia, another battleground state Biden narrowly won two years ago.<\/p>\n<p>Trump found some success as well. He lifted Republican Senate candidates to victory in Ohio and North Carolina. JD Vance, the bestselling author of \u201cHillbilly Elegy,\u201d defeated 10-term congressman Tim Ryan, while Rep.
